30: Island Hopping

Happy New Year, and after a slight delay PokeQuest is back to try and catch all 800+ Pokémon in 2017. Since the last post, I have beaten the Kahuna on Akala Island and traveled to a few more islands. Those islands were Aether Paradise, an artificial island that serves as a research station, and Ula’ula Island, where I am currently now at in the game. Although I only obtained five Pokémon entries in the PokeDex I have now been to four of the five islands in the game.

Out of the five Pokémon obtained three were through evolution. Torracat evolved into Incineroar at level 34. Trumbeak evolved into Toucannon at level 28. Then Paras evolved into Parasect at level 24. The other two Pokémon obtained were caught in the wild.

One of the Pokémon I caught in the wild were new the series while the other one was from the first Pokémon games. Those Pokémon were Caterpie and Oranguru. Caterpie has been around since Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow and is usually found in almost every Pokémon game since. While Oranguru is a Pokémon and is a Moon exclusive. It is also hard to catch and thus is the cover Pokémon for this post.

Now that I am on the fourth island in the game, Ula’ula Island, I should be moving along the story a faster pace. Although I’m sure there are more to see in the game I feel that I can finish Moon by the end of the month. However, that will all depend on how fast I pick up my pace of play. Until next time, the PokeQuest continues.
